Through investigating the public''s understanding of the social enterprises and its source of funds, we can find out what strategies do the social enterprises take to face such public awareness and reach sustainable operation.
Based on both survey and in-depth interview research approaches methods, this study found that people agree with the self-sufficiency for social enterprises, and think "charity" is the most important thing for social enterprises.
